Özet

Among the number of positive effects of functional training on the performance of athletes, physical parameters is increasing. Therefore, the present study describes the preparation in ten weeks of functional training for children and the measurement of physical and respiratory parameters before and after the training period. Twenty-five male 8-10 age children soccer school players participated in this study. Participants were given functional training for 45 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 10 weeks. Participants' body composition, respiratory parameters and physical fitness parameters were measured before and after 10 weeks of exercise. The results showed significant decrease after ten weeks of functional training in bodyweight, body mass index, and systolic blood pressure and significant increases in vital capacity, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, squat jump, countermovement jump, 1 min crunch, flexibility and VO2max (p < 0,05). The differences in resting heart rate and handgrip measures were meaningless. In conclusion, functional training could improve 8-10 age children's motor skills and respiratory functions and beneficial to controlling body weight.
